Symfony 3 production environment issues - symfony

My pages only change in dev environment i.e. when i run my app with app_dev.php in url or with AppKernel set to dev:
$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true);
For example i have the following twig template:
http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/af8fc051f00e42729a93b0396f37499589ae6a9d
If i somehow modify it (add a div or another tag), the changes wouldn't appear. In order for changes to display i need to be in dev mode. How can i deal with such a behaviour?

In production mode, the cache of the application has to be cleared, otherwise the changes won't occure.
To clear the cache, you have to type in the console, at the root of the project folder (where the folder bin, config, src... are) :
php bin/console cache:clear
At the first visit of the site, the cache will be reloaded that can be (very) long. To avoid this issue, you can warmup the cache, using this command when clearing it :
php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod
If you have no access to the console on the server, but can navigate to the site folder (the one with bin, config etc...) with FTP in example, you can manually delete the content of the var/cache/ folder

Put environment in prod and remove the profiler Symfony 4

I am putting my website in production, but I have a problem with the environment.As you can see in the screenshot below, the site remains in "dev" mode
However, I already modify my .env file as follows:
APP_ENV=prod
APP_DEBUG=0
APP_SECRET=secretthings
#TRUSTED_PROXIES=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2
#TRUSTED_HOSTS=localhost,example.com
###< symfony/framework-bundle ###
should I change another file or do something else so that my site is finally operational?
Thank you for your answers
Did you try to clear your cache?
Move to your project and type php bin/console cache:clear. You can also pass the enviroment you want to clear with php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod. Use dev or prod as your parameter.
Edit: If you have a .env.local file - you need to change your enviroment there.
After you update your .env file you should run composer dump-env prod to compile your environment file for production use.

setting symfony for local development on herkou

I am trying to set up my symfony 2.8 app for local development.(Following - https://symfony.com/doc/current/deployment/heroku.html)
Added In proc file
web: bin/heroku-php-apache2 web/
Error
bin/sh: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2: No such file or directory
Also note , composer.phar config bin-dir is bin
Anyone who can share how they resolved this problem?
First of all, have you tried letting heroku create the Procfile itself? I think lately it was smart enough to work out the root of the Symfony project.
If that doesn't work, maybe that's not the right path, try:
echo 'web: $(composer config bin-dir)/heroku-php-apache2 web/' > Procfile
If none of those work, I'd rather use the heroku information on how to deploy your Symfony app, have a look at this and see if it helps:

symfony assetic dir. does not exist

I've dumped assets using the folling command:
php app/console assetic:dump
I've got a Runtime exception:
The source file "c:\EasyPHP\data\localweb\projects\symfony\src\LV\IndexBundle/Resources/public/images/" does not exist.
It seems to me strange that:
the / goes to \Resources only, after it is /
the directory images does exist in public
no CSS work. I even tried internal CSS in layout.html.twig. Nothing changes.
OS: Windows 10
Try to remove vendors and re composer install, clear cache directory.
If problem isn't solved after that, please share your config.yml here

Symfony2 - confused cache clear trying to write to pro_

My Symfony installation seems to have gotten confused somewhere (probably during a failed cache clear). It seems to think that the production cache folder should be called pro_ instead of prod.
First, when I tried to run $ php console cache:clear --env=prod I got the error message:
[Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Exception\IOException]
Cannot rename "...cache/pro_" to "...cache/pro_".
I'm running on a windows dev machine (so there are no file system permissions issues).
So, I tried deleting all of the cache/* files/folders manually and trying again. This time the cache:clear went through and produced a single prod folder. That folder has subfolders for annotations, assetic, doctrine, sessions and twig.
But when I open the prod front controller (e.g. http://devsite/ in a browser) it fails with the message:
Fatal error: require() [function.require]:
Failed opening required '...cache/pro_/doctrine/orm/Proxies\__CG__AcmeDemoBundleEntityFoo.php'
(include_path='blah, blah, blah')
in ...\vendor\doctrine\common\lib\Doctrine\Common\Proxy\AbstractProxyFactory.php on line 165
From the looks of this it's trying to access cache files in pro_ instead of prod (again).
Looking in the cache folder I can see that __CG__AcmeDemoBundleEntityFoo.php exists under cache\prod but there is now a pro_ folder with annotations and sessions sub-folders.
What's going on and how do I make Symfony forget about pro_ so it can go back to using prod for everything?
I thought everything to do with the cache was stored under the cache folder... is there something else (somewhere) that's storing some reference to pro_? Or am I looking in the wrong place for the solution to this problem?
Edit: Done some more searching and appProdProjectContainer.php contains 16 references to .../cache/pro_. If I manually search and replace these to .../cache/prod the site works. But the next time I run console cache:clear it resets them back to pro_. Where could this errant behaviour be coming from?
Edit2: OK, I got to the bottom of this and have submitted a PR to the Symfony core to try and fix it. The problem was caused by our cache path containing '\' characters which were then escaped in the cache files and failing to match a search/replace command which was meant to clean them up.
app/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-warmup
composer dump-autoload -o
app/console cache:warmup --env=prod
This was a bug in Symfony's handling of cache paths with back-slashes in them.
The short term workaround is to replace them with forward slashes.
Longer term there is a fix posted as https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/9184 which will be brought into the core code soon.

Symfony 2.0 assetic dump produces wrong names in debug mode

I'm compressing my javascripts via assetic (block in twig for all scripts in one dir) which works fine in prod mode. Now i want to use the debug mode for my prod env, so i switch assetic to debug in the config, clear the cache and dump the assets with debug on.
This works for some javascripts but not all. Symfony adds a suffix number to them which is higher (by one) on the website (javascript tag) in opposite to the real file. Sometimes clearing the cache and dumping again solved the problem, but noot this time.
For example:
It dumps: /web/js/main_part_3_jquery-ui_6.js
But uses: /web/js/main_part_3_jquery-ui_1.js
So how can i solve this?
Edit:
The wron suffix doesn't appear on the first request to the site after cleaning the cache.
Since app/console assetic:dump is sensible for cached yml files - you should clear the cache for dumping assets each time you change configuration.
Best of all is to do it in this sequence:
rm -rf app/cache/*
app/console assets:install web
app/console assetic:dump
Of course, with debug keys, needed environments and so on
I had a similar problem of multiple generated assets and symfony not including the good one on display.
It was because of busting cache enabled in my case, and it was apparently misconfigured. (apparently it's usefull when you need a new version of your files, for example when you update your .js in dev but don't want to break prod )
So disabling it in config.yml fixed it.
assetic:
workers:
cache_busting:
enabled: false
